CORONATION Street star Alan Halsall posted an incredibly gushing tribute to his girlfriend Tisha Merry as they celebrated their first anniversary last night.
The 37-year-old, who is best known for playing Tryone Dobbs on the ITV soap, told her he had “loved every second” of being with her as they enjoyed a date night at home.
Alongside a loved up snap, he wrote: “1 year. 12 months. 52 weeks. 365 days. 8760 hours. 525,600 minutes. 31,536,000 seconds…….& I’ve loved every second.
“What a difference a year makes & what a difference you make to my life!!
“Happy anniversary @missdrewmerry93 I love you x.”
Tisha, who played Steph Britton in Corrie for four years, repaid the sentiment as she thanked him for changing her life.
She wrote: “How life can change in a year.Happy Anniversay @alanhalsall
“Thank you for being everything I could ever dream of! Here’s to many more years! I love you.”
The loved-up pair then got dressed up for a romantic dinner at home before being serenaded by co-star Andy Whyment via video call.
Alan split from former Corrie star Lucy-Jo Hudson in May 2018 – only a few months after they’d moved into their new home with daughter Sienna.
They had married in 2009 and just eight weeks after they announced their marriage was over, she revealed she was dating panto star Lewis Devine, with whom she swiftly set up home and now has another child with.
Following the split from wife Lucy-Jo , Alan found solace in the gym – punishing his body with monster three-hour workouts to numb the pain of his broken heart.
But it was at the David Lloyd fitness centre near Manchester that he grew close to Tisha with early morning games of badminton.
The pair kept people guessing about their relationship for some time before she moved into his £750,000 dream home and they made it Instagram official.
Alan previously confessed to feeling under pressure to pop the question to Tisha.
He said: “The pressure is there from day one but we’ve not been together that long, so I think we’ll just enjoy ourselves for now.”
